5.11 Postural Belts
A postural belt is an option which can either be factory installed to the wheelchair or can be retrofitted by your
specialist dealer. If your wheelchair is fitted with a postural belt, your specialist dealer will have informed
you about fitting and usage.
The postural belt is used to help the wheelchair user keep an optimum sitting position. Correct use of the belt
assists the user in sitting securely, comfortably and well-positioned in the wheelchair, especially for users who
experience difficulties with balance while sitting.
IMPORTANT!
The postural belt should be used whenever the wheelchair is occupied. The belt should be
tight enough to ensure that you are sitting comfortably & that your body is in the correct sitting position.
WARNING! Risk of crushing or entanglement.
To prevent crushing or entanglement, postural belts should remain secure at all times . NEVER allow
the positioning belt to hang or drag on the floor, or become trapped between the seating system and
the power base.
WARNING! Risk of injury
• Please ensure your postural belt is properly secured to the wheelchair and is adjusted for comfort
before each use
• Inspect the postural belt for loose parts or damage, incuding tears, worn spots, bent hardware, damaged
latch mechanisms, and/or dirt/debris prior to each use. If you discover a problem please contact you
service provided for maintenance or repair.
• Postural belts are NOT designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is your power wheelchair
suitable for use as a vehicle seat. Persons travelling in a vehicle must be properly belted into seats
approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Please be certain to read the safety information provided in the manual provided by the belt manufacturer.
